Wasn't it something like 10 below there on the day of Reagan's second inauguration? Insert joke about hell freezing over here.

1" will close schools. 6" shut down the area for 2 days. A foot? Armageddon.
We moved into our current house the day of RR's 2nd. One of the pipes had frozen and the builder put a heat gun to it for an hour. No problems since.Last edited by joecct; 01-06-2018, 08:37 PM.CCT '77 & '78
